Zhou Hao said to me: "Lao Si, Brother He is here to see you."
"Brother He? He Antang?"
"Well, he is in the principal's office. He asked me to help him pass a message." Zhou Hao said.
"Brother He? Is it He Antang?" I asked.
"Well, that's him." Zhou Hao nodded and said, "Brother He is in the principal's office. He asked me to help send a message, saying that he has something to see you."
I had a question mark on my face, why did He Antang go to the principal's office?
After cleaning up briefly, I went directly to the principal's office, and soon I met He Antang. He Antang was very excited when he saw me.
"Fourth!"
After seeing He Antang, I said in shock: "Old He, why are you still injured?"
He Antang had obviously just been injured. Not only was his face a little pale, but he also had several bandages on his body. The most serious one, there was even blood stains on the abdominal bandage.
This can be said to be a very serious injury.
"Hey, don't mention it. Someone chopped me down on the way. If I hadn't been able to save my life, I might have ended up on the road." He Antang shrugged.
I was shocked and said: "What's going on? What are you doing?"
"Ahem, let's not mention this for now. Let me show you a treasure." He Antang coughed lightly, and then mysteriously took out a small box from his space ring.
After the box was opened, a dazzling light came out, and at the same time, there was a strong throbbing feeling deep in my soul.
"This is...Zi Ling?" I said with an moved expression.
"Well, it's the Ming Ling Zi Ling." He Antang chuckled and said, "I spent a lot of money to get this thing. Do you think it's bigger than what you got at the auction before?"
"Indeed, it should be two to three times the size of my share of spirit, and the energy is very pure." I nodded, and said with a twitch of the corner of my mouth: "By the way, where did you get it? Could it be some kind of illegal thing? Means?"
"It's not much different..." He Antang touched his nose and didn't say what was going on.
But at this moment, Zhou Ruochen strode into the principal's office and scolded He Antang: "He Antang, you brat, are you going to the black market?"
"Uh..." After someone exposed his brother, He Antang said with some embarrassment: "Principal, I really have no choice. You won't let the Imperial City Guard come to arrest me, will you?"
"I have nothing to do, why should I ask someone to arrest my students?" Zhou Ruochen said angrily.
Although the Hall of All Living Beings has issued a decree explicitly prohibiting the trading of world spirits, to put it bluntly, it is difficult to fully implement this order.
It’s just that we can’t see it on the surface now, but there are still a lot of illegal transactions going on in the dark. After all, the trading market for world spirits is really too big, and there are so many people in demand that it is naturally difficult to completely eliminate it for a while. a phenomenon.
Basically every country has a black market, and Great Shun was no exception.
In fact, everyone is well aware of this, and officials are turning a blind eye to it, as long as they don't make too big a fuss.
"Principal, don't talk about this anymore, look at how much life spirit my soul can exchange for?" He Antang said with great interest.
"If you are referring to the origin needed to save Wang Yizhen, then your amount is probably only one-tenth of the way." Zhou Ruochen said calmly.
Hearing this, He Antang suddenly burst into tears and said, "This is too difficult. This gift alone has already spent all my savings."
"This is not a question of money anymore." Zhou Ruochen glanced at the injuries on He Antang's body and said helplessly: "Looking at you, after you came out of the black market, you should have been robbed. If you do it nine more times, are you sure?
Is your life still alive?"
Now He Antang's expression became even more sad. Just as Zhou Ruochen said, if he comes back a few more times, his life may really be decided on the way back from the black market.
And he has no money either.
As a penniless man, he couldn't follow the example of the bad guys who robbed him, squatting outside the black market every day to steal other people's lives and souls, right?
By doing this, I estimate that even if I don't get killed in the end, I will be on the wanted list sooner or later.
Seeing that He Antang's face was almost wrinkled, I smiled bitterly and said to Zhou Ruochen: "Principal, let's not torture Lao He. He is not an outsider, so just tell him the truth."
"I don't have any objections. You make up your own mind on this matter. You have the final say." Zhou Ruochen nodded, then sat at his desk and sipped tea leisurely.
He Antang said in shock: "What's the truth?"
"Actually... Lao He, you don't have to go through such trouble at all, because I have already collected all three sources." I said truthfully.
After hearing what I said, He Antang suddenly opened his eyes wide and said in disbelief.
"What did you say?"
"I said, I have collected all the sources, and Lao Wang can be saved!" I repeated helplessly.
After getting my affirmative answer, He Antang's pupils suddenly trembled, and his face was full of disbelief. Soon he started to laugh, first giggled, then laughed, and finally hugged him excitedly
It stopped me and cried with joy.
"Fourth, I really belong to you!"
After patting me hard on the shoulder several times, He Antang said excitedly: "How is Lao Wang now? Are you awake?"
"Not yet. This will take time. It will take several months." At this point, I added, "Besides, there is a possibility of failure."
"It doesn't matter, this is already good. It's better to have hope than no hope." He Antang said with satisfaction: "Take me to see Lao Wang."
"OK."
After saying goodbye to Zhou Ruochen, the two of us left the principal's office.
"These two boys are very affectionate..." Looking at the backs of us leaving, Zhou Ruochen couldn't help but sigh. There are not many people who can do this for their brothers these days.
He Antang and I went to the hospital. Wang Yizhen hadn't woken up yet, but we could see that Lao Wang's condition was obviously improving because we could clearly feel his breath.
Obviously, the fragments of his soul have begun to grow through the original power. He is now like a fetus, constantly taking shape, but what he is taking shape is the soul.
If everything goes well, Lao Wang's soul fragments will gradually grow into a complete soul through the power of the original source, and Lao Wang will be resurrected by then.
Of course, there may be amnesia, strength decline, or various side effects after resurrection, but these are insignificant compared to death.
It’s not a big deal. If you lose your memory, just get to know it again. If your strength deteriorates, then start practicing again.
As long as you are alive, there are endless possibilities!
